True story.... installing these righteous gold-anodized Chain Adjuster Blocks has added a minimum of 3.5 HP put to the ground, according to my highly calibrated ButtDyno!

I've also noticed hotties tend to be attracted to the bike even more than before.... probably the natural female reaction to mesmerizing gold. :D

These are the OEM chain adjuster blocks off the new B-King.... other than the anodizing, it's identical to the Busa chain adjuster blocks.

Only cooler.

We don't need no steenkin' chain adjusters.

Thay are purty though. That bike is unusually clean, also. :p

True for the moment. In between Endurance runs, I am actually taking pains to try to not let it get all trashed away.

Too, I had just finished some maintenance in this area, which is why the sprocket actually looks silver. :blink:

Normally, it appears in a nice Road Dust color....

It appears you all are clueless about those particular valve stems, so lemme edjamacate you.

These valve stem caps were given to me long ago by a grizzled old Endurance Rider from Arizona. He said he had these caps "blessed" by a Chiricahua Apache medicine man so that whatever they were used, the tire they were used upon would never suffer a flat. ;)

Which is all complete horseshit, of course. That having been said, it is also true I have never had a flat tire while running these valve caps. Coincidental? Of course. But just on the remote chance that the Apache spirits are working for me here.... it can't hurt to use these caps.

I see,

It is true!!! And Dales butt-o-meter proves it added horsepower

Leave it to Dale to figure out how to make the FJR a chain Drive.

Are you going to do a tech page on the conversion? ;) :)

 
I just bought some Kawasaki underwear... guaranteed for 5+ horsepower when I'm on the ZX14. Even has little chrome buttons in front. Except I can't figure out what the little expanding pouch is in the butt area? Hmmmmm............. :blink:

I'm fairly certain the Indian in the Village People wore his head dress on the same principle - it would keep him from being...uh...perforated by ...uh...objects. If I read the lyrics to "Y.M.C.A." and "In The Navy" correctly, I don't think it worked. Too, the construction worker in the Village People always wore that cheeky little grin... I'm just sayin...
